Patrick is lyrically eloquent and musically articulate...one of the most impressive Irish albums you are likely to hear this year

- Laura Murphy/ The Irish Times

As the moon guides the tides I Have a Tribe¹s Patrick O¹Laoghaire seems to guide our hearts, pulling us along with the ebb and flow of his harmonies. His latest album Beneath a Yellow Moon on Gronland Records,takes us along the waves of an emotional journey.

“It started when I got more brave. I just wanted to see if I could make something real using the colours that were in my head.” - I Have A Tribe

O'Laoghaire's music revolves around the sense of everything. When he puts his full voice forward, there's a resemblance to Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave..When he declares that he does indeed have a tribe, it's not assemblage of faces. It's the world around, the little intricacies that serve as reminders of humanity. In a way, it's both extremely lonely and unrelentingly uplifting..The way to read this album depends on how you respond to the profound overwhelmingness of the world. You can either find faces of comfort in the chaos or shrink in front of the indistinguishable mass. Beneath a Yellow Moon's beauty lies less in its willingness to search out answers than to admit that these questions are unanswerable.
